CTO Co -Founder

You've outgrown building for other people's visions. This is the role where that changes.

Most co -founder searches look like senior engineering roles with a vague equity line at the bottom. This isn't one. Perhire is backed by Build3, has a live WhatsApp matching POC already in use, and is heading into a new funding round. We need a technical co -founder who can stand alongside us as co -builder and as the CTO that raise requires. We're looking for someone who wants to own the architecture from day one, not inherit a spec and execute against it.

We're building in the future of work space. A specific corner of it that's large, under -built in India, and overdue for an AI -native approach. We'll share the full picture in the first conversation; we just don't put the thesis on a job post.

About Perhire:

We're an AI -native platform rethinking how talent and work connect. Clients get curated, vetted matches. No bidding wars. Talent gets scoped briefs that fit their expertise. No proposal spam. We have a live WhatsApp matching POC, backing from Build3, and a platform build starting Q2 2026 post -raise.

What we're looking for:

• 6 -10 years building and shipping production systems you owned end -to -end.
  
• Hands -on with LLMs or multi -agent AI. Not tutorial -level, production -level.
  
• Comfortable making architecture calls when the requirements are still moving.
  
• Python and/or Node.js fluency; strong instincts on infrastructure, APIs, and data models.
  
• Based in or willing to be in Bangalore. This is a build -together role.
  

• An AI -native product from 0→1. You make the architecture decisions, not just implement them.
  
• Multi -agent systems built for production, not demos.
  
• Infrastructure that handles real user load from day one. No "we'll scale it later" debt.
  
• A technical foundation across backend, AI layer, API design, and eventually a small engineering team.
  
• A co -founder relationship built on direct communication, shared ownership, and honest disagreement.
  

• First call: we share the full picture. What we're building, the technical challenge, and what the partnership looks like.
  
• Technical session: your past work, your architectural thinking, your honest red lines.
  
• Collaborative session: how we solve a real problem together, in practice.
  
• Term sheet conversation: equity structure, draw, and the shape of the founding arrangement.
  

What you're getting into:

• Co -founder title and real equity, negotiated fairly and structured from the start.
  
• Monthly draw discussed on call, based on what works for both sides.
  
• Full technical ownership from day one. You own the stack decisions.
  
• A validated foundation: 200+ client requests, 100% delivery rate, a live WhatsApp matching POC, backed by Build3.
  
• Bangalore -based with flexibility on how we structure day -to -day working rhythm.
